Experience in one to one coaching

In 2017 a number of principals hired me to coach them under the CSL coaching initiative.

Through the coaching process, principals gained insights and awareness causing them to make key changes in how they approach their work and in their personal lives. My coaching supported them as they rose to the challenges they faced. Their results changed their lives for the better.

“I changed from being always stressed about the job to rediscovering I had a life and the better I am in myself the better I am at the job. I now see possibilities where before there were only problems.“ Principal

For the last eighteen years I’ve coached hundreds of clients.

The school principals I coached had similar challenges to my clients who include artists, business owners, managers, professionals and senior executives.

Years later, clients contact me to say the coaching is still benefiting them.
